Softball Ranks High Academically

Oct 10, 2006

The Lees-McRae College ladies softball team was recently ranked
#32 of Division II teams by the National Fastpitch Coaches
Association for the 2005-2006 year's team grade point average.

The Bobcats have dramatically improved their grade point
averages over the past three years. In 2004-2005 they broke the top
50 by landing a #49 spot with a 3.04 gpa and have jumped up a
successful 17 spots and 2 points in 05-06 with a 3.25 GPA

"The wins in the classroom are in full part due to the work
ethic and personal choices that our ladies have made in the area of
academics" said Head Coach Julie Kennedy. "We provide study hall
and recruit players with past academic success, but ultimately they
are responsible for the outcome. I am thankful our ladies have
continued to display personal ownership in the pursuit of reaching
their academic goals."

The Lady Bobcats will open their season at Milligan College
February 9th.
